Beharie releases Are You There, Boy?
Beharie announces his new album "Are You There, Boy?" which will be released October 20th via V2 Records.
Deeply rooted within the indie/soul landscape you will find Beharie - a young, old soul with a distinctive expression that balances neatly between searching for an identity and independence. With vulnerable vocals immersed in delicate harmonies, his music conveys a nerve that dares to be both vulnerable and insistent.
Despite it being early on in his career, Beharie has already managed to win himself a Norwegian Grammy Award (“Spellemann Award") with his second EP ‘Beharie // Beharie’ (2021), as well as being nominated by Swedish Gaffa Awards as “International Newcomer of The Year”. The EP also won him praise internationally with Wonderland saying: “It might be too early to crown the EP of the year just yet, but this is certainly one of our best contenders”.
Having started 2022 with a month-long European support tour with William Fitzpatrick (US), the year continued to deliver for the soulful singer-songwriter. His third EP ‘Beharie, the Third’ (May 22) saw raving reviews from the likes of VG (5/6), Gaffa (6/6), Aftenbladet (6/6) and Aftenposten (5/6), with Gaffa claiming Beharie’s the “cream of the crop” and comparing him to Frank Ocean:
"The similarities to Frank Ocean, both in the voice and the melodies, are so striking that it’s tempting to look into Beharie's family tree. A big comparison, yes, but one has to go to this level to give a precise image of the talents that this man possesses”.
With his ability to express emotions wrapped in warm, soulful and timeless sounds, Beharieis continuing to bring his ever-developing music to exciting new places and heights.
